Why did we stop inventing gods?

Well of course you don't but look at the current cultural trends whether directly supported by mass interest or proffered by mass media for public consumption.

Without something of true lasting substance, what recourse do people have but to cling to the temporal icons offered in dramatic fashion?

There are always individual outliers and it's wonderful to meet you!...but the masses are not called that for nothing and herd mentality is evolutionary.

See, you are still generalizing, but saying anyone who doesn't fit your model is an outlier. Now I want your source of statistics on this. You've made a large claim here.

No, I am saying there are general trends of group activity in a given populous and there are outliers. Bell curves. Do you want statistical evidence on the nature of statistical bell curves? We're getting seriously meta here...
